Thank you Patina, Jenn and Gary,

You have been most helpful getting my planning and path set.  I'll for sure keep the appointment for this week with local Oncologist and hope as you suggest, to eventially do most treatments here.   I was just fearful that we could not do the aggressive protocols unless very close to the Melanoma center.  It does sound like initially we'd better plan some stay time at the center

I'll call the centers to see when we can get in. 

Thanks again for your help; this is a great site for education. Have great days!

Thanks for you insights into how to get this started and done.  I am leaning towards USC, and mostly via your testimonys.  Actually the southland is closer than Bay Area by 1/2 hour or so.  USC is about 3 hours.  I was under the impression from Sansum Oncology that we needed to be within 1/2 hour of hospital with these new aggressive plans with immunotherapy?

I'm planning to get on the phone Monday morning to see when we can get in.  I can see we need more diagnostic work to rule out other mets.  Hoping the end of next week we can do something.  I appreiate your emphasis on carrying and taking reports, films, etc. with us and to keep detail notes as this gets complicated I can see.

Thanks again Charlie

Thanks for your story with your Mom.  It is encouraging seeing the remission chance with stage 4.  We have to keep searching, I can see from your post.  We have not done a brain or bone scan yet.

Is there a short stay cancer patient living quarters near USC.  I am unfamiliar with that part of California, so not sure what people do that are 3 hours away?

Trying to figure our options,

Thanks again, Charlie.

Jenn,

Thanks much for your post.  I am familiar with UCSF for other medical items.  Good to know they are tops Melanoma's too.
